I have a 1998 f150 with a 4.2. Auto. The gauges just wit working. I have check fuses and have even tried a different cluster the same. I have lights but none of the gauges work. Can anybody help?

 

Sounds like a wiring issue.

First things I'd check:

1. All fuse and junction boxes for corrosion. Even double check those fuses with a meter! Some of those things look like they are OK, but they are actually blown.
2. Check your grounds for corrosion or missing grounding straps.
3. Look for frayed, chewed, or otherwise suspicious wire looms. Rodent infestations are common, even if you don't live out in the backwoods.
